Eye on the Tenth

February 12, 2016

Dear Friends,

February marks African American Fleritage Month and the Los Angeles City
Council celebrated with lots of fanfare.

Together with Councilmember Joe Buscaino, Councilmember Marqueece
Harris-Dawson and Councilmember Curren Price, we led a formal presentation
reminding those who gathered in the City Councils chambers of the many
influences the African American community has furthered for the betterment of
civilization.

We also included a call to action in our remarks urging Angelenos to come
together and fight hate and racism with tolerance and understanding. The time
is now for those who call Los Angeles home to have uncomfortable
conversations with one another and allow progress to strengthen the city^s
race relations.

Following the presentation, we unveiled the City Councils annual City Hall
Bridge Gallery Exhibit commemorating the month long celebration. This marks
the 10th year my office has spearheaded the photo art exhibit. This yearns
exhibit celebrates the cultural and entertainment phenomenon, Motown Record
Company. Artists signed with Motown created a unique sound which
transcended color barriers and would become the soundtrack to the American
experience.
